Since Ryan has failed to achieve the Freedom Caucus endorsement, the question now becomes if he will stick to his promise and drop out of contention for the Speakership.

“No,” Ryan’s spokesman Brendan Buck told Breitbart News earlier on Wednesday when asked if Ryan would follow through with a Speakership bid without an official House Freedom Caucus endorsement.

The Caucus doesn’t endorse.

But most of its members do. :)

That big-nosed Ryan is a skinny version of Boehner. He also wants to tear down the borders. Why on earth would anyone want to support this character. But democrats love him so that’s all that matters.

In other words, his lips were moving.

And we all know what that means.

Breitbart has become a clickbait whore much like The Blaze.

Couldn’t get to the story.

Too bad.

The money quote:

“A supermajority of the House Freedom Caucus has voted to support Paul Ryan’s bid to become the next Speaker of the House,” the House Freedom Caucus said in a statement.
Paul is a policy entrepreneur who has developed conservative reforms dealing with a wide variety of subjects, and he has promised to be an ideas-focused Speaker who will advance limited government principles and devolve power to the membership. While no consensus exists among members of the House Freedom Caucus regarding Chairman Ryan’s preconditions for serving, we believe that these issues can be resolved within our Conference in due time. We all know that Washington needs to change the way it does business, and we look forward to working with Paul and all our colleagues to enact process reforms that empower individual representatives and restore respect to our institution.

Sounds like a definite maybe.

That NRA speech was fantastic.

For a Democrat, he’s one of the most conservative people out there.

Both Raul & Paul are two guys that really would have benefited from a few years in uniform.

from wiki...

Clarke has been elected three times to the Sheriff's office as a Democrat, despite not belonging to any party. This has spurred criticism from the local Democratic Party.[3] Clarke explains his choice to run as a Democrat thusly on his website:

"Like me, most people question why the Office of Sheriff is a partisan election. I have never asked a person to vote for me because I run as a Democrat. I ask them to vote for me based on my 35-year commitment to keeping citizens safe. Most voters get it when it comes to public safety. There is no Democrat or Republican way to be a sheriff. The enemy is not the opposing party; the enemy is the criminal."
